Those eyes in the original picture just don't look like the very distinctive goat eyes seen even in the pic I posted (if you look carefully). But the actual eye type is quite hard to tell from the original pic, and the glass eyes might even not be similar to the original ones.

Thus, I declare it as a goat of some type! At least for the time being :D

The picture in this post looks exactly like the one on our wall. Is there any chance of identifying what the type and name is of this goat? Thanks for your time in helping to solve our ongoing mystery. We have had him for nearly 8 years and were originally told he was a Malaysian yak. Obviously not true. Biohazard, are you a zoologist or similar?

Heh, nope sorry. I'm a cell biologist / biotechnologist, so if something's bigger than few micrometers its waaaay too be to me! Well, half kidding on the last part. I've always been very interested in animals and I can recognize a fair deal of them, but I'm not a zoologist so I don't have a "professional" answer for you, just an educated guess. But I tried to put some reasoning along my answers so you others could know why I came to the given conclusion :)
